Dexter Middle School wrestler Storm Massey, pictured above, prepares for his match at Sikeston on Wednesday night.

"We had a great night. Sikeston is a quality program and the fact that we were able to get a win was big for us," coach Rick Schwab said. " We had some guys finally come out of their shell tonight, most notably Jordan Lacy. He came out very agressive and got a couple of wins. He looked like a completely different wrestler."

"I'm very proud of the entire team," Schwab continued, "and I'm looking forward to seeing what they can accomplish this Saturday in Cape."

ROLLA - The Missouri S&T Lady Miners kept its unbeaten start to the season going by pulling off a 62-53 upset of 21st ranked Drury on Wednesday in Rolla. It was the Lady Miners first win over a ranked opponent since they defeated #21 Michigan Tech back on March 14, 2008 in the opening round of the NCAA Midwest Regional in Springfield, Mo.

S&T (6-0, 3-0 GLVC) becomes just the fourth team in school history to start a season winning its first six contests.

The game started out as a see-saw affair in the first 17 minutes with eight ties and 10 lead changes. The Panthers (5-2, 2-1 GLVC) led by as many as four with 9:10 left in the opening frame. The Lady Miners answered with a 7-0 run to retake the lead thanks to six points from Courtney Kemp.

Drury answered with five straight getting a three from Katie Pritchard and a layup from Abby Bracker to take its final lead of the contest at 22-20 with 4:43 to play.

Hailee Parks tied it with a layup then Taylor Jensen gave S&T the lead back with a layup at the 3:32 mark before Pritchard tied it with a jumper 0:23 later.

The Lady Miners ended the half scoring the final seven points, all from the charity stripe, to take a 31-24 lead into the intermission.

S&T shot 50 percent (9-for-18) from the field and was 12-of-17 at the foul line in the opening stanza. It was outrebounded 13-to-11 but forced the Panthers to turn it over 12 times.

Parks had eight to lead the Lady Miners while Kemp dropped home six.

Pritchard led Drury with 10 while three others had four apiece. The second half was scoreless for the first two minutes before S&T extended its lead to nine points as Parks scored the first six of the stanza for S&T.

The Panthers cut the lead to 37-36 at the midway point on a three from Pritchard.

Kyesha Hall and Karli Sample answered that three with back-to-back baskets extending the lead to 41-36. Pritchard added another three to make it 41-39, but Toni Knar came right back with a three of her own to extend the lead back to five.

Drury continued to hang around getting as close as three with just over four minutes to play before the Lady Miners salted the game away with an 8-0 run building its largest lead of the night at 58-47 with 2:52 to play.

The Panthers got no closer than seven the rest of the way as S&T hit its free throws to pick up its second straight win over Drury.

Parks led three Lady Miners in double figures with 14 points. Kemp dropped in 11 while Julie Meyer added 10 more. Parks also added nine rebounds.

S&T finished shot 43.5 percent (20-of-46) from the field and was 20-for-28 (71.4 percent) at the free throw line in the game. It was outrebounded by a 32-to-30 margin but held a 34-to-18 edge in the paint.

Pritchard scored a game-high 20 points to lead the Panthers while Erica Groose had 11 points and eight rebounds. Bethanie Funderburk, Drury’s leading scorer at 17.7 points per game, was held to just two points on 1-for-6 shooting.

The Panthers finished the contest shooting 18-for-49 (37 percent) from the floor and made 72 percent (13-of-18) from the foul line.

The Lady Miners return to action on Saturday afternoon when they travel to Frankfurt, Ky., for a non-conference contest against Kentucky State beginning at 2 p.m. (Central Time).

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - Lafayette used a controlled effort to churn out a 61-57 win over Penn State on Wednesday night. The Leopards held the Big 10's leading scorer, Tim Frazier, to three points and 0-of-12 from the field. On the other end, Jim Mower, Seth Hinrichs and Nick Petkovich scored in double figures while Rob Delaney distributed a career-high nine assists.


Mower did the bulk of his work at the line, converting 8-of-9, including two free throws in the final seconds to seal the victory, the first for a Patriot League opponent against Penn State since the league's formation in 1990-91.


In the opening minutes, Penn State jumped out to an 8-0 advantage before a pair of Hinrichs' three's started things. The Leopards pulled out to a 20-16 lead on consecutive three's by Petkovich. The senior's first long ball put Lafayette on top for good at 10:35. Freshman forward Dan Trist followed with a pair of buckets extending the lead to 24-16 as part of a run of 10 straight for the Leopards.


Lafayette led 37-32 at halftime. In the opening 20 minutes, Lafayette hit 7-of-17 from three while Penn State shot a 1-for-13 clip from beyond the arc. The Nittany Lions made up for it with 11 offensive rebounds, outmuscling Lafayette 26-13.



In the second half, Willen picked up his third foul at 12:57 and went to the bench with Lafayette leading 49-41. The Leopards stretched the lead to 10 (51-41) on Les Smith's dribble handoff to Joey Ptasinski, who stepped in and drained an 18-footer. The bucket forced Penn State to call a timeout with 11:40 remaining following Lafayette's 7-0 spurt.



Out of the timeout, Penn State responded with a 6-0 run, cutting the Leopards' lead to 51-47. In that stretch, Willen picked up his fourth personal and went to the bench for a three minute span. Trist's layup at 7:07 briefly stopped PSU's momentum, but then the Nittany Lions added two free throws and a bucket to make it a two-point game with 4:35 showing.



After the teams traded a pair of free throws, Hinrichs used every part of the rim on a three in front of the Lafayette bench to push the lead to five with 3:17 to go. The triple came off a feed from Delaney and gave Hinrichs his best scoring output in a Lafayette uniform.



Two Penn State possessions later, Frazier penetrated the Lafayette defense and kicked to Jermaine Marshall for three of his game-high 20 points. Lafayette led 58-56 with 2:11 left as Penn State took a timeout.



On the other end, Mower made a slashing move to the hoop, but his layup wouldn't fall. Petkovich fouled Marshall on the rebound, but Marshall, who was 9-for-11 from the line, missed the front end of a 1-and-1.



Clinging to a two-point lead, Hinrichs missed a three and then Frazier missed a layup and Mower ripped down the board with less than a minute left. The Leopards called their final timeout with 46.7 seconds left and on the ensuing possession, Hinrichs fired up a three ball from the corner that was down, but then rimmed out to Marshall.



Petkovich stole the ball from Marshall and was fouled right under the hoop, sending him to the charity stripe. Petkovich made one-of-two and Lafayette led 59-56 with 17 ticks left.



On the defensive end, Willen stole the ball from Frazier. The resulting scrum for the loose ball nearly led to a tie-up, but Petkovich called for a timeout. The Leopards had already used their final of five stoppages and were assessed a technical foul. Frazier made one of two to cut Lafayette's lead to 59-57 with 10.4 seconds remaining.



The Leopards inbounded after the made free throw and Mower was able to break away before getting fouled. He calmly iced the game, making both free throws in the double bonus situation.



The Leopards made 16-of-20 (80%) from the line for the game while Penn State went 16-for-26. Lafayette was outrebounded 47-26. Petkovich managed eight boards to go along with 13 points and Mower netted 14 in the win. The Nittany Lions shot 3-for-23 from beyond the arc against the Leopards' zone.


Dexter native Alan Flannigan, while only getting seven minutes on the court, showed great improvement in his defensive game. The freshman was able to come up with a steal and defensive rebound in the contest.


Lafayette, who snapped a three-game losing streak, travels to Sacred Heart on Sunday for a 3:30 p.m. matchup.
